Central Coast v Wellington – (Sat 5:35pm)
The Mariners broke a long drought in Adelaide last week and it could just be the turning point that they have been looking for. Pain and O’Donovan look to have finally struck a chord in an area of the field which has consistently cost the team points in recent times. Similarly, Wellington were also able to grab their first win of the season and they did it on the big of a first half brace from Roy Krishna. The biggest change saw Kosta Barbarouses take up a more central role and it worked a treat. He was able to attract multiple defenders and it allowed Krishna acres of space. The Mariners haven’t won back to back league matches since 2013 but with Wellington losing 11 of their last 15 away from home The Wolf will back the Mariners to end yet another drought. They have won their last two against the Nix and will make it three.
Best Bet: Both Teams To Score – YES ($1.50)
Value Bet: Central Coast WIN ($2.45)

Last five games v Australia:

5. 2009 - 4N Final - Lost 46 v 16 @ Leeds

4. 2010 - 4N Game - Lost 34 v 14 @ Melbourne

3. 2011 - 4N Game - Lost 20 v 36 @ Wembley

2. 2013 - WC - Lost 20 v 28 @ Cardiff

1. 2014 - WC - Lost 12 v 16 @ Melbourne

So we lost by 30, 20, 16, 8, 4 - we have been getting closer, and lost by a finger tip last time!!!

We will know after Friday what we need to do, but worst case we need to win by 12. 

We are not that far behind them, we just need the game of our lives, big players to step up.

I do believe we can beat them though.
